Variable Negative Stiffness Actuation |
摘要 |
An actuator includes an effective stiffness. The effective stiffness is based at least in part on non-linear deflection characteristics of buckling. A method of varying an effective stiffness of an actuator includes providing an actuator and varying an effective stiffness of the actuator based at least in part on non-linear deflection characteristics of buckling. Another method of varying an effective stiffness of an actuator includes applying a load to a member. The load causes the member to buckle, and the buckling produces non-linear deflection of the member. The method further includes varying an effective stiffness of an actuator based at least in part on the non-linear deflection of the member. |
